pearls and chain

I was inspired to make this necklace by a line of jewelry from Birks called Biker Chic. I had almost the same chain in my supplies, so i figured i could do something pretty similar. In the original, the pearl segments are strung, not wired, so i’ve used 3 pearls per segment instead of 5, and I’ve also used Swarovski crystal pearls instead of freshwater pearls, but otherwise the design is pretty close. Its close to 40″ long and weighs a lot (the sterling chain is solid). it can be worn plain, looped or as a bracelet. Made it for mom for her birthday :)
